for some time now when loading new emails it lists them. But if I close down Thunderbird and go back to my account all the emails are gone. On a similar note our samsung tablet only receives some emails,? not all of them.


Are they actually gone or can I get these back? There are emails I am waiting for and I would not like to miss them, There are not a lot of emails being held in any folders and when I open the archive tab its empty? Please please any help would be awesome.
